According to the CEC, the number of candidates reached nearly 17,000 people. Half of them are current deputies. As emphasized by the CEC, gender equality is maintained, since there are approximately 8,000 female candidates. By the way, according to sociologists, voters in Belarus are more likely to support women as candidates. The CEC also noted the low activity of political parties.


The process of candidate registration starts tomorrow to be followed by campaigning. Elections to local councils of deputies are scheduled for March 23.
